Where flavor fears to tread
This would be in my mouth! Once again, I'm left tasteless! And I didn't even tell any off-colour jokes :-( It's so infuriating to eat and not be able to taste what you're eating. I've pretty much been this way on and off all week. Between the sickness and the depression I am a walking fountain of happiness.
Earlier this evening I spent about 3 hours tossing about in my bed with the most ridiculous dreams fluttering off and on through my head. They were somewhat influenced by the fact that I was watching the food channel. You know how that is? When you're just having really terrible sleep, but you're somewhere in the haze between consciousness and sleep? So, you can see these things going on around you, but the most you can do about them is incorporate them into your dreams? It never seems to be good. All I have to show for it is some weird idea about a basketball coach stealing the aura's of people in the crowd and creating some kind of amalgamation of them into a player for his team. And there was something about cooking too. I'd rather forget this night existed.
I researched what was wrong with my knee. It seems to be something called Chondromalacia. If you don't care to read, it seems to be curable by just building up the muscles in the leg and limiting physical activity. Now, I know diagnosing myself is pretty ridiculous, but I'm in a bit of a pickle as it is. Since I'm on a student visa for a private school, I don't actually have any health insurance here. I am not sure how I would go about visiting a physician, let alone how much it would cost.
It also says I should take several WEEKS off. If there's one thing I REALLY do not want to do it's take several weeks off from Judo. Too bad I don't have my health insurance card from Algonquin, as I could probably get in at their sports medicine place there and get checked out.
Bleh, so I don't know what I'm going to do. I just walked down the stairs outside a few minutes ago and nothing's changed despite my frequent icing it down and exercises this weekend.
On a somewhat related sidenote. Reading about that stuff grosses me the hell out.
I imagine I'll go to Judo on Tuesday, but I'll just try and take it easy.
I think that about covers my life in general right now. I believe I'll try and watch a movie before bed. Which apparently will be at about 5 AM today. Bon Appetite.
